Group Order

[cdhill77]

This functionality exists in DoorDash already: https://www.doordash.com/cart/47348053-a4f2-4287-a941-93394651bf5f/?openGroupCartShare=true

The feature allows someone to start a Group Order that people can add their items to. Thus, in an office setting, an administrative assistant can email the team a link so each team member can add their desired item to the Group Order. .

Hi @cdhill77 - we have released a group ordering feature as well; learn more here: https://squareup.com/help/us/en/article/6859-checkout-options-with-square-online-store#637f820415a3e...

Hell @faheem thank you for that info. Which level of Square Online is required for that feature? I am using the Professional Plan now. Also, I do not see the feature listed anywhere on the "Compare Features" page: https://square.online/checkout/plans?site_id=7605[Redacted]394&site_refer=springboardDashboard&sourc...

[faheem]

@cdhill77 - the Plus or Premium plans include that feature

[cdhill77]

@faheem I have upgraded to the Peformance Plan.  Can you tell me where to find the Group Order feature? I don't see the option to activate it anywhere. 

[faheem]

@cdhill77 you can access the group ordering setting here, https://www.square.online/app/square-sync/deeplink/weebly/store-checkout

i.e. Go to your Square Dashboard, hit Online, then navigate to Shared Settings -> Checkout

How does a customer share their cart. I have it enable on the back office online store. 

I create an account try to place an order but I could not find how to share the cart on the customer side. 

I want to be able to explain to customer how they can add co workers to their orders. 

Thank you

@leobrazuka on desktop, after buyer add an item to the cart, at the top right of their screen they'll see a "mini-cart" show for a few seconds. That mini-cart also appears if you hover over the cart icon. Near the bottom of that mini-cart is a toggle that allows you to start a group order.

On mobile devices, after adding an item to a cart, a "View order" button appears on the bottom of the scree. There's a button on the screen to the left of the "View order" button with the icon of a person and a 'plus' sign. Clicking that button will allow the option of starting a group order

Is there a way to pull up the group order cart to pay? it seems the orginal creater of the group order cannot pull up the cart to pay and finalize the order!! the cart should be tied to an account!
